- The 2025 lineup includes 32 companies performing in five venues—including the Commodore on the western edge of 7th Avenue
- Some shows are 18 & up, while others have ratings (PG-14, PG)
- A no-cover Kids Fringe features acrobats, a secret agent Cinderella and a Seussian show from the Hillsborough Community College Theatre Club
- Other acts are family-friendly, but not necessarily written for kids
- There a shuttle even a shuttle for anyone who needs it
- Aspeed-dating-esque preview night happens on on Wednesday, June 11 where each company will perform a tight, three-minute preview of their shows
- Admission can be purchased for individual shows, in three or five-show bundles, or in the form of an “Eliminator Pass” that gets a festival goer into everything.
